Which volcanoes are active today?
Searches for active volcanoes today usually mean one of three things: volcanoes with elevated alert levels, recent eruptions or volcanoes showing notable unrest. EarthSentra combines current monitoring information with a world map so you can quickly identify volcanoes that may require closer attention.
Active volcanoes today around the world
An “active volcano” is not necessarily erupting right now. A volcano may be classified as active but remain quiet, while another may have an elevated alert because of earthquakes, gas emissions or ground deformation. For that reason, the page prioritizes official volcano alerts and recent monitoring information rather than treating every catalogued volcano as an ongoing eruption.
How many volcanoes are active today?
There is no single real-time number accepted worldwide because observatories and scientific catalogs use different criteria. To see which volcanoes have the most relevant activity now, use the alerts and map above, then browse the country directory for regional volcano monitoring pages.
EarthSentra does not issue volcano alerts and preserves the authority of the original monitoring source.
